Admiral Keyes In Prophetic Vein
(Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, July 23. The London statement on the Tokio agreement will be issued at 2 p.m. to-morrow. London regards Baron Hiranuma’s statement with reserve. Admiral Sir Roger Keyes, M.P., speaking at Norwood, said that if Britain made it clear she would most strongly retailiate, Japan dare not force a conflict with the British Empire. Japan’s navy in Eastern waters was at present infinitely more powerful than Britain’s, but Japan must be aware that if Germany forced a war with the British Empire she would be overwhelmingly defeated, after which the Rising Sun of Japan would be eclipsed as surely as night followed day.
